Welcome to our Manager's Handbook. Here you will find all the information you need to set up a campaign, to manage your agents and chats. Enjoy!
Logging In
To log in to the management interface, you need to go to this link and fill in your email address and password. Then click on the 'Login' button.
In case, you cannot log in, please use the ‘Help’ button at the right bottom of the login form. This will lead you to our help center. Otherwise, you can click on the website’s link and get in touch with one of our agents on chat for further help.
Manager's Interface
There are three main sections in the interface - Chats, Campaigns, and Users&Groups. The buttons to these are at the top of the page.
On the top right corner, there is the user’s menu where you can log out or retrieve the HTML code for the chosen website from the “Your Website” option.
Chats Section
In the main Chats section, there are three subsections - Chats, Statistics, and Exports. You can find them on the left upper side of the page.
Chats
In the Chats section, you can see all the executed chats. The chats can be filtered by different indicators - date, agent, success code, participants, campaigns, type of conversation, and status. The indicators can be chosen from the drop-down menus at the top of the page.
The date can be filtered in different ways - today, yesterday, last 7 days, or for a specific period of time.
When everything desired is filtered the list of chats is displayed. In the first field, it is the date of the chat, next is the type of the chat, start URL, the agent that handled the chat, chat rating (if enabled), and the duration.
When you click on a specific chat, there is more information about it as well as its whole transcript. In the transcript, you can see everything that happened to the chat - if a customer left, if he came back if the chat was transferred among the agents, who and when closed the chat, etc.
Statistics
In the statistics section, you can see the statistics of the chats. The same indicators can be selected as in the chats section. The statistics available are the following:
- Chats per day - it shows how many chats were executed for the chosen period of time
- Total number of chats - it shows the total number of chats that were handled in that time frame
- Chats per hour - how many chats were there for each hour
- Chats per agent - how many chats have the agents handled in that time frame
- Customer satisfaction - how were the chats rated by the customers if that option was enabled
- Proactive vs. Reactive - the percentage of proactive and reactive chats
- Average chat duration - the average time of a chat duration
- Average first response time - the average time of the first response sent to the customer
- Success Codes - the percentage of used success codes
Exports
In this section, the following files can be exported:
Agent Activity | This report provides information regarding the duration of operators' availability. In addition to that, you can use this report to determine which users were online during a specific time frame |
Agent Performance | This report classifies the behavior of the operators depending on the chat duration, time of first response, duration of online and offline status |
Agent | It is the static report, where you can see a list of the agents and their id, username, first name, last name, email, account id as well as the deleted agents |
Conversations | With this report, you are able to obtain information about the number of chats generated, data on the agent's behavior, and data on the visitor's behavior |
Automatic Invites | This report will tell everything that happened with the auto invites on the website for the chosen period of time. You will also see the invites that are not displayed because there were no available agents |
Hosts | The report allows you to review the info about all websites that were added to your account and to check whether the site is owned by one or more accounts |
Traffic | This report provides all visitor’s actions on your website (number of visits, visitors on the website, the quantity of viewed and accepted chats, and the number of automatic invitations) |
Slots | This report shows an overview of the daily incoming chats and the behavior of the active agents of the day |
Below the report list, there is an option to show more settings. It allows you to generate a permanent link to a specific report with a secure token. With this token, the report can be downloaded without first logging in. An automated system can use this token to download the reports periodically.
The link that is generated gives unauthenticated access to that specific report in the account. The token will not work for another report or account. The generated token is designed to be cryptographically secure, thus very difficult to guess or attain using brute force.
Campaign Section
This is the section where all the campaigns added can be checked or a new campaign can be added and set in the desired way.
You can add a new campaign from the “Add Campaign” button on the right top corner.
Once the “Add Campaign” is clicked, you need to fill in the details of the campaign to set it initially.
The title of the campaign is the first thing to add. In the “Language & Theme” section, you can set the language of the campaign, its theme, as well as the logo for it.
In Campaign Configuration, you can choose whether to set the campaign to all the websites or just to a specific one/s.
The chat window can be customized from the chat window section. There the color and the title can be set or you can use your own CSS code to style the chat window.
In the Interaction settings, you can set the pre-chat information, opening text, closing text, and auto-forwarding the chat.
The pre-chat information is used when you would like the visitor to confirm they want to start the chat. In that case, a text that is set in the field will appear and the customer will need to click on a button set under the “Start chat” button text, to actually start the chat. This option can also be set to be available every time or only the first time the customer uses the webchat channel.
Once the visitor writes their message, the pre-chat information will show and they will need to click on the button to start a chat, in this example, the “Yes, start chat!” button.
The opening text is the first pre-written message, the customers will receive once they open the chat window. If the visual reminder is selected, there will be a small reminder of the chat for the customer. The reminder makes the text slightly move.
The closing text is the text that will be sent to the customer once the agent or the visitor closes the chat.
With the auto-forward option, the chat is being automatically forwarded to another agent if the first one doesn’t reply within a certain amount of time. The amount of time can be set between 10 and 60 seconds. There is also an option to avoid forwarding within the same routing level.
These are the initial settings when adding a campaign. In order to work on the advanced settings, you need to select the campaign from the campaign list shown when clicking on “Campaigns” from the top middle button.
Once the campaign is selected, the following subcategories appear:
- General
- Automatic Invites
- Chat buttons
- Routing
- Tools
- Goals
- Follow-ups
General
In the general tab, there are the initial settings set for a campaign - Name, Language & Theme, Campaign Configuration, Chat Window, Interaction settings. The initial settings set when the campaign was added can be changed from here. The only difference is that from here in the 'Campaign configuration' section, you can add a website from the 'Add Website' button at the bottom.
Buttons & Greetings
From this setting, you can set greetings such as chat popping up to initiate a conversation with the visitor or an “offline availability” message in case there are no agents available for the visitor to chat with. As well as adding, setting, and changing chat buttons.
In case a visitor tries to start a chat, he will receive the “Offline message”.
From the first two fields, you can change the availability for the button and for the greeting. You can choose between "Always", "When agents are logged in" and "When agents are logged in and available" for both.
List of Buttons & Greetings
In this section, you can manage the greetings and buttons and add more of them as well. To add a button or greeting, you need to click on the “Add Buttons & Greetings” button on the right side.
For the greetings, you can choose between “Yes/No greeting” and “Chatwindow greeting”.
With the Yes/No greeting the chat window will pop up on its own according to the criterion created for it.
The first step to create the greeting is by giving it a title, setting up the text to show, and giving names to the accept and decline buttons.
To add a moment and criterion, you need to click on the 'Add moment' button at the left bottom.
The moment needs to have a name as well, this can be set at the top of the page. To add criteria, you need to click on the 'Add criteria' button.

For example, if the criterion is set to time on page >= 2 minutes, the chat pop up will appear after the visitor has been on the website for 2 minutes.
With the chatwindow greeting, the visitor needs to type in a message in order to start a chat.
You need to add the title of the greeting as well as the text for it. Once you set these and click on the 'Save' button, the system will bring you back to the list. In order to set the timing for this greeting, you need to select it again and the timing section will be available at the bottom, where you will be able to press 'Add moment' to add the criteria.

To change a button’s or a greeting’s settings, you just need to click on the button or greeting you wish to change and use the settings there.
Routing
This category helps you establish a routing order, supposed to assign incoming new messages to specific chat operators, following a defined model within that level. Different levels can be set up as a backup and every level can have its own group/users.
To set the routing of the campaign, you need to set a title for it, then add users or groups to it and choose the routing method. This can be set from the first section of the routing tab. The added users/groups will be the first to receive chat messages (before the others).
The routing methods are the following:
- Random
- With least chats
- With most space - the user that is set to have more simultaneous chats will be the one to receive the next incoming chat
- Sequentially
- With most chats - suitable in case some of the users have other tasks. In such cases, the incoming chat will be coming to that user until they have no more space for the next one.
In the Forwarding level, the users/groups set there will receive only transferred chats. This function can be enabled from the toggle on the right side and when you click on “More settings” you can add the users or groups to whom these settings will be applicable.
Tools
Using the tools in this section, the agents will be able to get more information during a chat conversation and make sure they handle the chats according to your plan.
The tools available are:
- WebTabs - links to external websites that will give the agent more information about what the customer sees. The tab will appear on the ‘Details’ section of the detailed user interface, between Quick Response and Screen share.
To add a new tab, you just need to use the “Add tab” button on the left bottom after clicking on “More settings”

For the agents to be able to use multiple codes per chat, the 'Allow multiple codes per chat' needs to be ticked. By ticking 'Agents are forced to choose a code before they can close the chat' the agents won’t be able to close the chat without tagging the chat or giving it the corresponding success code.
- Customer survey - the visitors are able to rate the chat conversation, which gives insight into the chats and agents' quality. The rating of the chat can be set in different ways.
